CORDLESS PHONE BASICS
MAKING A CALL
The only two things you need to know to make a call are:
•Press the PHONE ON/OFF button before you dial.
•Press PHONE ON/OFF or place the handset in the base to hang up. Otherwise, it works just like any other phone.
CAUTION: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.
You know the phone is on when you see the
REDIAL
PHONECHANNEL
ON/OFF
Press the REDIAL button to redial the last number you called. If you get a busy signal, and want to keep dialing the number, just press REDIAL again (you don’t have to turn the phone off and back on).
RECEIVING A CALL
The Auto Answer feature lets you just pick up and talk when you receive a call while the handset is in the base. If a call is answered on an extension phone, Auto Answer stays active for about 10 seconds after the call is picked up.
To answer a call when the handset is out of the base, you must press PHONE ON/OFF before you can talk.
